Default Screw size? Or part identification?

Good afternoon and Merry Christmas!

I am looking for help identifying the 2 screws that secure the running light trim bezel into the frames. If anyone knows what size I'd like to get these tomorrow from the hardware store since I recieved new bezels for Christmas. Car is a 1981 928.

This kind of sheet metal screw, size B3,5 x 16 (some older cars had a shorter B3,5 x 13mm screw). The dimensions are in mm.

IIRC my Ace hardware had a huge selection of automotive hardware. Also Lowes.

I have had good luck with Belmetric and finding proper fasteners.

I have a new '79 project car that just arrived, the headlight bezels have pan head screws but they're 3.5 x 19 mm. For whatever that's worth.

This type of sheet metal screws can be had in stainless steel, which means that the screw stays nice and shiny much longer than the car itself.
